Globalisation and its Consequences for Scholarship in Philosophy of Education

A manifestation of globalisation as an economic imperative has occurred at the national level in Australia.This manifestation is in the form of political policies, administrative practices and funding distribution ostensibly aimed at creating a more competitive national economy.Philosophy of Education, as a practice and product of some employees in the higher education industry in Australia, is being influenced by this manifestation of globalisation.Reflection on ways in which established concepts are being reshaped to suit the agenda of globalising political policies may assist those engaged in philosophising about education to enhance their practice in ways they desire.It is argued here that such reflection should lead many academics in Australian universities to the conclusion that they should not undertake research and that research should not be part of the job specification for most academics employed in Australian universities.
The argument in this paper is based on a set of epistemological assumptions about the nature of academic practices or traditions (cf.Toulmin, 1972).Philosophy of Education is one such academic tradition or practice.A university may be conceived of as a community of academics engaged in a range of traditions or practices.A university may also be conceived of as a quasi-governmental administrative entity employing workers to value-add to customers intending to maximise personal economic rewards from future engagement in a more competitive national economy.     

Really Useful Knowledge: The New Vocationalism in Higher Education and its Consequences for Mature Students

This paper offers a discursive analysis of the position of mature students vis-a-vis higher education and its increasingly necessary linkage with industry. Longstanding questions are raised as to what higher education is actually for: intellectual expansion, or merely to prepare young people for work? If it is the latter, then where does this leave mature students, who have less 'career'time left to use their degrees, and may simply be studying because of an interest in a given subject?

Art Education for Life

In this paper I argue that art is a search for meaning, and should be taught and learned in that context. The immediate goal is to understand ourselves and others better, allowing more intelligent and meaningful action in the arena of life. Toward that end, I suggest that the social agenda of art education, in a world that is both increasingly interdependent and turbulent, can be the construction of community through personal, group–centred, and cross–cultural understandings approached through art. I examine traditionalism, modernism, postmodernism, and contemporary visual culture for content and strategies to serve the purposes of art for life, and construct the outline of a model for instruction utilizing those concerns. Finally, I make a case that thematically mining and creating art works, performances, and visual culture for aesthetic significance that ultimately frames, forms and enhances meaning is the primary strategy for this construction of community, not in the tribal sense, but universally.

普罗米修斯盗火神话及其文化意蕴

普罗米修斯盗火虽然属于英雄神话,但又有别于一般的英雄神话,因为其中蕴含着非同寻常丰富的文化意义。首先,普罗米修斯盗火神话,为我们解读文明起源提供了珍贵的启示和线索,这就是文明起源于火,人类文明的黎明是在火的催生下诞生的。其次,普罗米修斯本身就是人类文明进步的代表和象征,是主持正义、献身理想、反抗暴虐的化身,是敢于抗拒强暴,宁死不屈,不惜牺牲一切的英雄形象。再次,普罗米修斯集受难者、殉道者和智慧者、思想者于一身,他所担当的是人类从精神到肉体的全部苦难。     

New Directions for Education Commissions and Consequences for Administrators

Plagiarism is more prevalent in academia than normally acknowledged. Because it is a “taboo” topic, administrations are ill‐equipped to investigate allegations of plagiarism. Two Australian examples are used to illustrate the need for more openness about and better procedures for dealing with this academic problem.     

乡村过事的赢利化及其后果

以礼为核心的乡村过事制度,在鄂西南地区借助泛化整酒名目、随意扩大人情圈、简化酒宴操办和货币化礼物,逐渐丧失其社会和文化价值,通过泛滥的“无事酒”沦落为村民争相利用的赢利工具.农村礼俗的这种根本性改变,是乡土社会在遭遇市场化冲击后,乡村由多元价值需求变成直接的物质追求,日渐理性化的村民面对弱化的村庄舆论,在人际关系的功能尤其是经济功能弱化的情况下,利用残存的乡村场域谋利的结果.作为乡村秩序操练和维系的过事的赢利化,在不断加重农民负担的同时,也加速了乡村人际关系的功利化,导致社会资本的急剧流失,从而使农村社会陷入无序之中.     

当代法国高等美术学院的艺术教育

法国是艺术之乡,几百年来出现了许多伟大的艺术家。法国的高等美术学院在世界上享有很高的声誉。这些院校曾为世界各国培养了大量优秀的艺术人才,其中就有许多我国著名的艺术家,如林风眠、徐悲鸿、吴作人、吴冠中、常书鸿等老前辈。他们后来都成为了中国现代形态的美术教育的开拓者和播种人。应该说,法国的高等艺术学院与中国的学院美术是紧密相连的。本文主要对当代法国高等美术学院的艺术教育之特点进行分析,以期为中国艺术教育提供参考。一、当代法国高等美术学院艺术教育20世纪的西方艺术在时代变迁的大背景下,均发生了“反传统”的剧烈…
